Abstract
The beam elements discussed so far consist of homogeneous, isotropic material. Within this chapter a finite element formulation for a special material type—composite materials—will be introduced. On the basis of plane layers the behavior for the one-dimensional situation on the beam will be developed. First, different description types for direction dependent material behavior will be introduced. Shortly a special type of composite material, the fiber reinforced materials, will be considered.
